Lots of ground to cover in this truly American city.
- El Farolito: taqueria on grungy Mission Street, for pitch-perfect taco carnets
- Rich Table: innovative comfort food in Hayes Valley, for a Dirty Hippie (mousse of buttermilk, wheatgrass, sprouts and seeds, and sardine chips), chicken lasagna (hmmm)
- Blue Bottle Coffee: fresh coffee, but long lines at the Ferry Building
- State Bird Provisions: much in demand table, serves modern dim sum, specialty of lemony, deep-fried quail on Fillmore Street
- Central Kitchen: quintessential Northern Cali with an Italian twist
- Park Tavern: warm and lively atmosphere, trendy crowd, fresh from the market menu in North Beach; the Washington Square Cocktail (Limoncello, Aperol, ginger and prosecco) sounds intriguing, as does poulet noir served with truffles
- Craftsman & Wolves: nice patisserie on Valencia Street
- Benu: Keller disciple Corey Lee making tasty and inventive food, tasting menu only on Hawthorne Street
